The light rail transit known as The Tide opened this past Friday, August 19th at 6am in Norfolk to much awaited fanfare. Suffice it to say the Tide did not disappoint, as an estimated 30,000 passengers rode The Tide on Friday, keeping its cars packed all day long.

Riders came from far and wide to catch a ride and because of this overwhelming support, Norfolk’s City Mayor Paul Fraim declared that the free rides will continue all week long to give every supporter a chance to ride for free.

Park and Ride
The Tide offers four Park and Ride locations with 779 parking spaces for vehicles. Parking is free.
All Park and Rides are monitored by security officers. No overnight parking is permitted. Cars left in lots after the end of HRT’s service day will be ticketed or towed.

Come on out and support the Tide and ride for free all week. Support Hampton Roads and our continued economic and transportation development. More information about public transportation in Hampton Roads can be found on the Hampton Roads Public Transportation Alliance website.
